TopicRestructing County Gov.
ContentThis is an idea from the Oklahoma Academy for State Goals back in 1995.Restructure County Government. Change county government to an administrator style of government.Instead of a board of commissioners doing the day-to-day business of the county, hire a county administrator.The board of commissioners would only meet to discuss the county administrator and his agenda. Instead of a board trying to decide what the best path for the county is, they would hire a qualified administrator, and then make their decision based on his/her recommendation.The board of commissioners would not have to meet as often, or be paid as much, and the money could go towards someone who knows what he/she is doing, and any other money would be a savings to the county.
